Wireless Network

About OCU Wireless Networks

Oklahoma City University strives to provide and support a pervasive computing environment to enhance the teaching and learning goals of the university. As part of this mission, Campus Technology Services provides wireless network coverage in all buildings on campus, including all dorms and most outdoor common areas. Access is provided for students, faculty and staff as well as limited access for university guests.

Getting Connected

The university offers three wireless networks:

OCUsecure — For Faculty, Staff, & Students

All wireless devices for faculty, staff and students should be configured for this wireless network if at all possible. It offers the most secure connectivity of the three options, using WPA2 Enterprise security. Most modern operating systems (Windows, Mac OS, iOS, etc) support WPA2 Enterprise and simply require you to enter your OCU network username and password to connect. Manual configuration settings can be found here.

OCUunsecure — For Gaming & Other Devices

This wireless network should be used by faculty, staff and students for devices that do not support WPA2 Enterprise. While this is a secure wireless network, it is less secure than the OCUsecure wireless network.

To register a device to use this network, follow these steps:

Identify the MAC address for the wireless network card of the device you will be registering with this network. An overview and tips for finding a MAC address can be found here.

Once successfully registered, your device can connect to OCUunsecure with no additional configuration settings necessary. After 240 days, your device will need to be re-registered.

OCUguest — For Campus Visitors

This wireless network is a courtesy for our university guests and is not intended for faculty, staff and students. It provides limited Internet access to applications such as web browsers and email clients.
